PRP Injection Therapy for Pain & Injury

Most patients describe the injection as a brief, moderate discomfort — similar to a dental freezing. Some soreness in the treated area is normal for a few days afterward as the healing response begins.

That depends on your condition and how your body responds. Some patients experience meaningful improvement after a single treatment. Others — particularly those with more chronic or degenerative conditions — may benefit from 2–3 treatments spaced several weeks apart. Dr. Vic will discuss a realistic treatment plan at your consultation.

PRP works by stimulating a healing response, which takes time. Many patients begin to notice improvement within 4–6 weeks, with continued progress over the following months as tissue repair progresses. Individual timelines vary depending on the condition.

Many extended health plans in BC cover naturopathic visits, but PRP injection fees may not be fully covered under all plans. Health Spending Accounts (HSA) can often be used. Our front desk can provide specific fee details when you call to book.

No referral is needed. You can book directly by calling (604) 541-8811. If you have existing imaging (X-rays, MRI), bring it to your consultation — it helps Dr. Vic assess your condition more thoroughly.

All three are regenerative injection therapies, but they work differently. PRP uses your own concentrated platelets and growth factors. Prolotherapy uses a dextrose solution to trigger a localized healing response. Prolozone combines ozone gas with nutrients to support tissue repair. Dr. Vic is experienced in all three and will recommend the approach best suited to your specific condition.

Results vary from person to person and depend on the nature and severity of the condition being treated. Dr. Vic will be straightforward with you about what PRP can and can't do for your specific situation — no vague promises. A consultation is the best way to discuss realistic expectations.
